Hints For Buying' A few hints for buying were - outlined by Miss Freeman: 1, Buy in season, Fresh fish are usually at their best both in flavor and quality as well as cheapest, 2, Choose thick plump fish in. preference to long slender ones for "|. quality and economy. 3 3, Observe that flesh fs firm, eyes and gills' bright, skin not dul, | and no strong odor, - 2 ~ - shantung or some or 4.

Suggestion was made that in buying, three servings to a pound of fillets or hall a pound per per- son for whole fish are adequate, Also jn: keeping: fish, they should be wrapped in waxed paper, cov. ered closely and kept<in a very cold place if juices. aud flavor are not to be lést, "One can buy haddock for 15 cents a pound," and wlmost all fish cheaper than meat," Miss Freeman. sald, "This caw be a real in restricted budgets."
